This Resolution urges the State of Hawaii and each of its counties to adopt the Global Pact for the Environment, a framework designed to consolidate and strengthen international environmental law, in order to achieve the goals of the United Nations Paris Agreement, which aims to limit global warming, and the 2030 Development Agenda, a UN plan to end poverty and protect the planet. Specifically, it calls for the adoption of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 13 through 17, which focus on combating climate change, conserving oceans, protecting terrestrial ecosystems, promoting peaceful societies, and strengthening global partnerships for sustainable development. The resolution emphasizes that adopting the Global Pact and these SDGs should be central to the State's policies and practices, with a focus on protecting nature and ensuring a sustainable future for all generations.
